Benefits: These devices provide both oxygen therapy and the benefits of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP), making them versatile for nighttime and respiratory care.
Benefits: They are battery-efficient and can be Medical while moving, making them ideal for active patients who need oxygen intermittently throughout the day.
Uses: These devices are used for patients with severe respiratory conditions who need a higher flow rate of oxygen (typically over 10 LPM). They are generally hospital-grade machines but can be found in some home settings for patients with advanced diseases.
Benefits: They provide continuous oxygen flow, typically between 1 and 10 liters per minute (LPM). They are designed for long-term use but are not portable due to their size and weight.
Uses: These provide a constant flow of oxygen, regardless of whether the user is inhaling or exhaling. They are mostly found in stationary models and are beneficial for patients who require higher oxygen levels or a steady supply.

COPD: Oxygen concentrators are vital for managing low blood oxygen levels in COPD patients, particularly to reduce shortness of breath and improve quality of life.
Uses: Portable oxygen concentrators are designed for patients who require oxygen therapy but want to maintain an active lifestyle. These are ideal for travel, exercise, or outdoor activities.
Uses: These are designed for patients who also require positive airway pressure therapies (such as those with sleep apnea), in addition to supplemental oxygen.
